Global and document-level classpaths

Flash has two classpath settings: a global classpath and a document-level classpath. The global classpath applies to external AS and FLA files and is set in the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences). The document-level classpath applies only to FLA files and is set in the Publish Settings dialog (File > Publish Settings) for a particular FLA.

By default, the global classpath contains two directory paths: a relative path that points to the directory that contains the current document, and the Classes directory located in the user configuration directory installed with Flash. The location of this directory is shown here:

• Windows 2000 or Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\ Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX2004\<language>\Configuration\
• Windows 98: C:\Windows\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\ <language>\Configuration\
• Macintosh OS X: Hard Drive/Users/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash MX 2004/<language>/Configuration/

The document-level classpath is empty by default.
